How to Fix a Kenmore Washer With an F50 Code

The F50 error code on a Kenmore washer signifies an issue with the washer's motor or the system's ability to detect the motor's function. This means the washer is struggling to spin the drum during the wash cycle. Here are the common reasons for an F50 error in Kenmore washers:

  • Obstruction in the Drum - Foreign objects like buttons, coins, or even large pieces of clothing can get lodged between the drum and the washing tub, preventing the drum from rotating freely.
  • Overloaded Washer - If you've crammed too many clothes into the washer, it can overload the motor and hinder its ability to spin the drum.
  • Drive Belt Issues - The drive belt connects the motor to the drum. A worn-out, loose, or broken drive belt can prevent the motor's power from being efficiently transferred to the drum, leading to spinning problems.
  • Faulty Motor - In some cases, the motor itself might be malfunctioning and unable to generate the necessary torque to spin the drum.

How to Fix a Kenmore Washer With an F44 Code

The F44 error code on a Kenmore washer indicates an issue with the washer's drum not rotating properly in both directions, typically during the spin cycle. Here's a breakdown of the reasons why you might be getting an F44 error on your Kenmore washer:

  • Overloaded Drum - If you've stuffed too many clothes into the washer, it can overload the motor and prevent the drum from spinning efficiently in both directions.
  • Imbalanced Load - An uneven distribution of clothes within the drum can also cause the washer to stop spinning due to imbalance. This can happen if you're washing heavy items like comforters or rugs.
  • Clogged Drain System - A clogged drain hose or filter can prevent the washer from properly draining water out of the tub. This excess water can add weight and hinder the drum's ability to spin in both directions.
  • Faulty Drive System Components - In some cases, worn-out drive belts, a malfunctioning motor, or a broken drum bearing could be preventing the drum from rotating properly.

How to Fix a Kenmore Washer With an F35 Code

The F35 error code on a Kenmore washer indicates an issue with the pressure sensor, also known as the water level sensor. This sensor plays a vital role in regulating the amount of water that enters the washer tub during the wash cycle. Here's a breakdown of what the F35 error signifies

  • Faulty Pressure Sensor - Over time, the pressure sensor can malfunction and send inaccurate readings to the control board. This can lead to the washer taking in too much water or not enough water, triggering the F35 error.
  • Blocked Pressure Sensor Hose - A small hose connects the pressure sensor to the washer tub. If this hose becomes clogged with debris or soap scum, it can prevent the sensor from getting accurate water level readings, resulting in the F35 error.

How to Fix a Kenmore Washer With an F33 Code

The F33 error code on a Kenmore washer indicates a problem with the drain pump or the communication between the drain pump and the control board. Here's a breakdown of the potential causes

  • Faulty Drain Pump - The drain pump is responsible for pumping the water out of the washer during the drain cycle. If the pump motor itself is malfunctioning, it won't be able to pump the water efficiently, leading to the F33 error.
  • Clogged Drain System - A clog in the drain hose or drain filter can also cause the F33 error. If the water can't flow freely out of the tub due to a clog, the washer might sense this as a drain pump issue.
  • Loose Wiring Connections - The F33 error can sometimes arise due to loose or disconnected wiring between the drain pump and the control board. The control board relies on these signals to communicate with the pump and ensure proper operation.
  • Faulty Control Board - In less frequent cases, a malfunctioning control board could be misinterpreting signals or sending incorrect instructions to the drain pump, resulting in the F33 error.

How to Fix a Kenmore Washer With an F32 Code

The F32 error code on a Kenmore washer signifies an issue with the drainage system. This means the washer is having difficulty draining the water out of the tub during the wash cycle. Here are the common reasons for an F32 error in Kenmore washers

  • Clogged drain hose - The hose that carries wastewater out of the washer can become clogged with debris, lint, or soap scum over time. This can prevent the water from draining properly.
  • Clogged drain filter - Most Kenmore washers have a drain filter, typically located at the bottom front panel behind a small access door. This filter can trap coins, buttons, or other small objects that might have gotten into the washer during the wash cycle. A clogged drain filter can impede water flow.
  • Faulty drain pump - If the drain hose and filter are clear, the drain pump itself could be malfunctioning. The drain pump is responsible for pumping the water out of the washer during the drain cycle.
